Top CT Board-Certified Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Robert Langdon Appears on WTNH CT Style to Discuss Advanced Age-Defying Laser Services

Guilford, CT (PRWEB) April 26, 2011

Dr. Robert Langdon, Medical Director at The Langdon Center and noted author of Understanding Cosmetic Laser Surgery, stopped by WTNH?s popular broadcast television show, ?CT Style? on March 10th, 2011 to address how men and women can reduce both the pigment and texture issues that result from sun damage and aging. To address these problems, Dr. Langdon recommended his state-of-the-art cosmetic laser services, specifically BBL Photo Facials and SkinTyteTM Laser Skin Tightening.

?There are several causes of facial aging and sun damage is a major one because it affects the color of the skin as well as the texture.? says Dr. Langdon, ?Not everyone has the time or inclination to go through a surgical procedure; we can actually do quite a lot with these non-invasive laser treatments.?

For those who are bothered by facial spider veins, brown spots, age spots, rosacea and general redness, treatment with Broad Band Light (intense pulsed light), a laser-like device, can gently yet dramatically erase these blemishes, leaving the face and neck looking younger and more even toned.

Dr. Langdon also addressed the issue of skin laxity, wrinkles and other texture problems, advocating SkinTyteTM Laser Skin Tightening. Treatment with SkinTyteTM, an infrared light source, can tighten sagging or drooping skin that has resulted from sun exposure, gravity, fluctuations in weight or simply as a part of the aging process.

Both BBL Photo Facials and SkinTyteTM Laser Skin Tightening are quick in-office procedures at The Langdon Center, but provide Dr. Langdon?s clients with the dramatic, age-defying results that they seek - no incisions are necessary!

For a complimentary consultation or for more information on BBL Photo Facials, SkinTyteTM Laser Skin Tightening or any of the innovative cosmetic laser services offered at The Langdon Center, call (203) 453-8625.

Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery Practice Uses BOTOX Cosmetic? for Excessive Sweating

Tampa Bay, FL (PRWEB) August 31, 2011

The International Hyperhidrosis Society suggests that approximately 176 million people worldwide suffer from excessive sweating, based on a survey released in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. The same study reports that 2.8% of Americans are known to have the condition. Dr. Jeffrey Hunt, a vein specialist in Tampa, is offering BOTOX Cosmetic? as a solution to control excessive sweating for patients suffering from hyperhidrosis.

The injectable treatment can combat the symptoms of severe sweating by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from nerves that stimulate sweat glands. Sweating stops once the nerves cannot receive the chemical signals. According to BOTOX Cosmetic? prescribing information, results from treatment can last up to six and a half months. "For the most part, 50 injections are needed for each side, but the entire procedure takes usually less than 20 minutes. Patients should choose an experienced physician as the total of 100 injections are very strategically placed for successful results," says Dr. Hunt.

Dr. Hunt says that using BOTOX Cosmetic? can be an effective remedy for patients with excessive sweating that hinders them from everyday activities. He adds that patients who are changing clothes multiple times a day or are afraid to lift their arms in public may be good candidates for the procedure. Dr. Hunt also says that since the rest of the body is free to produce moisture normally, the procedure safely allows your body to regulate its temperature without backing up sweat.

At his spider vein and cosmetic enhancement center, Dr. Hunt says he hopes that the treatment will give patients the opportunity to boost their self-confidence. "We see the relief on our patients' faces that we've treated with BOTOX for excessive sweating, and we know that it means so much to them to know that it is something that can be controlled and that does not have to run their lives. It's a great feeling to pass on this satisfaction."

After medical school, he completed a three-year family practice residency program at Cuyahoga Falls General Hospital in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

Anniversary Event Provides Community Education About Cosmetic Procedures

Prescott, AZ (PRWEB) September 06, 2011

Body Oasis Laser Aesthetics staff and founder Dr. Robin Fleck celebrated six years at their Prescott location in August, welcoming local residents to enjoy live entertainment as well as learn about newly available alternatives to cosmetic surgery, such as the Active FX CO2 fractional laser treatment, new techniques for injecting dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation, and recent additions to the Botox market including Dysport and Xeomin.

Alumni of the Active FX laser resurfacing were on hand to answer questions from those interested in the procedure. ?It is gratifying to see our alumni participate in these events,? remarked Jan Gillum, office manager of Southwest Skin and Cancer Institute. ?We have before and after pictures to demonstrate the radical improvement they?ve experienced and they have their own story to tell.? The alumni shared details about the procedure and the recovery process. ?Showcasing our patients allows everyone to see the amazing results we are seeing with these new laser procedures while providing realistic expectations about the healing involved,? notes Deirdre Morris, administrative assistant for Southwest Skin and Cancer Institute.

The reception started with an informative lecture by Dr. Fleck outlining the cosmetic procedures offered at all three offices, followed by a live demonstration of a Dysport treatment on an audience volunteer. The live injection gave the audience the opportunity to see how painless and quick these procedures are as well as provided an opportunity to ask Dr. Fleck and the patient questions about the injections as they were taking place. ?I was surprised how fast the treatment was and that I had no bruising or pain afterward,? remarked Jane Raimondo, lucky recipient of the Dysport injections. ?I would recommend this to everyone.? Those that hadn?t experienced a Dysport treatment first hand were amazed at the different areas that could be addressed including frown lines, crow?s feet, upper lip wrinkles and sagging jowls. ?This is why we call it the ?lunchtime liquid face lift?,? stated Dr. Fleck. ?It takes less than a half hour, and we will give you back 5 years.?

Representatives from various medical and laser companies were also present at the event. Medicis, the company responsible for dermal fillers such as Perlane and Restylane, and laser representatives from Candela and Lumenis were on hand to explain how their products and treatments work. ?For the clients we see, this is the perfect event to get some solid information on treatments they may be considering, but don?t know enough about,.? noted Maureen Brogan, laser technician at Body Oasis medical spa. ?The importance of having these experienced reps at an event like this is so they can speak to the aesthetic consumer about their products and how they can work for clients? specific issues.?

After the lecture and demonstration, the guests were invited to tour the facility and take in the multitude of services offered, from varicose vein treatment to nonsurgical cosmetic rejuvenation.

At Body Oasis, guests were treated to free Visia computerized skin analysis to see the actual sun damage that can be accrued living in the Southwest. The Visia takes three photographs of your face and can demonstrate pore size, wrinkles, UV damage, oils in the skin, and overall skin tone when compared to peers the same age. A Visia skin analysis is used at Body Oasis as a starting tool to find out what a client?s problems and concerns are, and then a treatment plan is developed to address those specific issues.

Complimentary test spots with their state-of-the-art Light Sheer Duet permanent hair reduction laser was also provided to show how painless laser treatments have become. This laser is equipped with a larger handpiece that allows for treatment of an entire back in fifteen minutes.

Dr. Fleck hosted a slide show featuring information about the causes and treatment of varicose veins and spider veins. At Vein Specialties, Dr.Fleck provides the latest advances in laser treatment of varicose veins including endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) and sclerofoam injections. Potential clients learned that most insurance companies cover these procedures, which require no downtime. Patients can return to work the same day.

The reception was a platform not only to demonstrate the ease and affordability of the cosmetic and laser treatments administered at our offices, but also to educate the guests on the proper way to protect their skin against sun damage. Dr. Fleck also consulted patients about the harmful effects of using over the counter sunscreens and sun blocks. ?People gain a false sense of security when using sunscreens,? Dr. Fleck noted. ?They aren?t 100% protected from harmful UV-A radiation yet they tend to spend more time in the sun when using sunscreens. This leads to chronic conditions including rosacea, premature aging and skin cancer.?

The practice carries a fresh vitamin C serum that when used along with vitamin E lotion provides a full spectrum of coverage from UVA and UVB rays. ?People spend too much money on media hype and have difficulty sorting out fact from creative marketing,? said Maureen Brogan. ?That is why we educate our clients on proper skin care. We carry products that are fresh, affordable, and work. Antioxidant serums not only help protect against the sun, but can reverse early skin cancers, age spots, fine wrinkles, and skin laxity.?

If you were not able to participate in this event, call the helpful staff at either of these locations (928) 778-0808, and set up your free consultation today.

She is founder and Medical Director of Body Oasis Laser Aesthetics http://www.bodyoasislaser.com in Prescott, Arizona and is a fellow of the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery and the American Academy of Dermatology.

The Skin Center Medical Spa in Pittsburgh Celebrates 30 Years of Innovation and Excellence in Cosmetic Plastic Surgery and Anti Aging Skin Care

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) September 27, 2011

The Skin Center Medical Spa, with locations in Pittsburgh, PA, and Columbus, OH, this year celebrates 30 years of offering women and men advanced cosmetic plastic surgery in Pittsburgh and minimally invasive medical spa treatments for healthier-looking skin, and rejuvenation of the face and body.

Performing more than 100,000 medical spa treatments for clients, The Skin Center is one of the top medical spas in the country and is the largest of its kind in the region. Established by board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dominic Brandy, MD, in 1981, The Skin Center is one of the few medical facilities in Western Pennsylvania specializing exclusively in cosmetic plastic surgery and anti-aging laser skin treatments. Dr. Brandy and his colleague Fernando Colon, MD, board-certified plastic surgeon and medical director of The Skin Center in Columbus Ohio, have a combined 50 years of experience in cosmetic plastic surgery. Together they have performed nearly 20,000 cosmetic surgery procedures.

Today, The Skin Center provides a range of cosmetic services, including facial plastic surgery, cosmetic plastic surgery, laser vein surgery, body contouring laser treatments and anti aging skin treatments.

The Skin Center?s core philosophy is to offer less invasive medical spa treatments and cosmetic surgery procedures that improve patients? self confidence and enjoyment of life while providing tools and guidance to improving their overall health. A team of board-certified cosmetic surgeons, board-certified plastic surgeons, vascular surgeons and nurses work closely with each patient to ensure that the right medical spa treatment or cosmetic surgery procedure is selected, and that the patient has established realistic goals.

Additionally, as medical director, Dr. Brandy ensures that clients opting for cosmetic surgery procedures understand and are educated about the role that nutrition, exercise and lifestyle play in achieving and maintaining optimal surgical outcomes. All prospective cosmetic surgery patients undergo a medical clearance process before a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure is scheduled. This holistic approach, together with the experience, medical precision and artistry of Dr. Brandy and his staff, ensures that clients achieve lasting, natural-looking results with the least amount of downtime possible.

?At The Skin Center, we are passionate about offering our clients the most proven and effective treatments that fit their individual lifestyles,? says Dr. Brandy. ?We spend an extensive amount of time getting to know each individual so that together we can achieve a result that boosts their self confidence, and helps them look as vibrant and rested as they feel on the inside. I never get tired of seeing how delighted my patients are with their results. I know that they leave our office ready to enjoy life more fully. This is what inspired me 30 years ago, and it continues to do so today.?

Innovation has also been central to The Skin Center?s success. In its early years, the practice focused on the most advanced cosmetic surgery treatments for men, and Dr. Brandy gained his position as a leading cosmetic surgeon by developing and refining the most effective techniques for treating hair loss with natural growing hair. The practice grew steadily as Dr. Brandy broadened the scope of treatments to include minimally invasive cosmetic surgery procedures and med spa treatments for men and women. Today The Skin Center specializes in the Quicklift? mini face lift procedures, breast enhancement, liposuction and tummy tucks, as well as advanced medical anti-aging skin treatments for firmer, more youthful looking skin.

Dr. Brandy is also the developer of the revolutionary QuickLift? mini facelift, a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that tightens sagging skin along the jaw line and chin, resulting in immediate, marked results without the lengthy recovery and cost associated with traditional facelift surgeries. More than 2,000 QuickLift procedures have been performed at The Skin Center alone, and physicians from across the United States travel to Pittsburgh to train with Dr. Brandy to learn the QuickLift procedure.

Considered a leading authority in the field of cosmetic surgery, Dr. Brandy has published more than 70 medical articles in prominent medical journals and has contributed to nine aesthetic surgery textbooks. He has also shared his expertise as a cosmetic surgeon with his peers by lecturing at over 115 national and international meetings. For the past five years he has lectured and served as faculty at the St. Louis University, Practical Anatomy and Surgical Education Course, Advanced Techniques in Facial Rejuvenation.

At the same time that it marks its 30 years of service to its clients, The Skin Center Medical Spa is renovating and expanding its Mt. Lebanon location to 15,000 square feet. This includes a state-of-the-art ambulatory surgical facility nationally accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, AAAHC as well as expanded capabilities for medical spa treatments, and varicose vein and spider vein treatments.

Cutera Excel V Now Available At Westlake Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) November 29, 2011

Westlake Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery, a leading provider of medical dermatology, cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery in Central Texas, announced today it is now offering Cutera Excel V to treat a wide range of vascular conditions. For the millions of Americans coping with the physical, emotional and social effects of vascular skin conditions, the search for a simple and cost-effective treatment has been frustrating until now.

The Excel V system uses a unique high-power green laser to precisely treat visible vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins, vascular lesions and skin discoloration. The laser light is absorbed by abnormal blood vessels in the skin, which heats and eliminates the vessels, ultimately restoring normal skin tone and color. The technology in the Excel V has been proven effective in treating a wide range of skin conditions, including rosacea, facial veins, port wine stains, telangiectasia and cherry angiomas. Excel V also incorporates the latest innovations in cooling technologies enabling the doctor to deliver higher doses directly to the affected lesion with less pain than traditional laser systems.

People seeking healthier looking skin are often faced with the untenable options of invasive medical procedures associated with undesirable side effects. Treatment of port wine stains, for example, has included radiation, freezing, and surgery, often resulting in pain and scarring. Similarly, spider leg veins are most commonly treated by sclerotherapy, an invasive procedure that requires patients to wear compression stockings after treatment and often includes an injection.

?Until now, treatments for some of these vascular conditions have been limited due to their invasiveness or unwanted side effects,? said Dr. Gregory Nikolaidis, president of Westlake Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery. ?The design of the Excel V laser includes a unique cooling mechanism to prevent damage to surrounding skin, and the great thing is that there is no downtime for patients.?

Treatment with the Excel V laser system can be customized to each patient?s unique skin condition and can be adjusted to treat different depths and sizes, from superficial blemishes to deep vascular scars. For more information about Excel V visit: http://www.westlakedermatology.com.
